Last week I noticed that over a hundred people had read the beginning of my new novella, Locus Amœnus, online in a single day. I checked my webpage stats, and I found that the referring pages were from the local school district’s email server and a school board trustee’s business email server. (Who needs Booz Allen Hamilton or Statfor?!) So a hundred people from the very small town of Amenia, mostly school administration I guess, were struggling through all those “words, words, words,” to try to find out if they appear in the satire.
